A. KOHLER, a; residing at Chiv and State of Illi-' nois, have'invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Wheels forRoller-Skates,

'f hich; the following is a specification.

relates to lmprovements in while it has especial re.- I to that type of wheels emp oyed for roller-skates; yet .it is applicable '-to caster or those usedfor sliding doors," small trucks, and-for various other side edges are straight and at ri ht'ahgles to. one another, so'that the side e ges will rest against the inner surfaces of while the outer edge of each of the rivets will rest against the inner surfaces of thegflanges 6, thereby bracing said flan es, aswell as the members 5, against inwar pressure. The ses, and it consistsin certain peculiar1-' ds 12 of each of-the 7o ties of the construction, novel arrangement,

ottheparts thereof, as will be ,openings 1-1 of the members 5, thus securing fully set forth and speoifio- .thern toge her immovably in all directions rel'ativelyto each'other;

While" I have shown with three brace-rivets and prefer'to use said number and to employ rivets of the construction' shownin Fig 3 of the drawings and above described, yet it is evident that I may emplo any number of such rivets or may vuse'or inary rivet-bolts for securing the members,5 together withoutdeparting from the spirit of my invention. i

From the foregoing and drawings it will 'my improvements are very simple in construction, comprise few: arts, areeasy and chea to make and assem le, and are effectual in a l respects in the performance of their functions. 9

' Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'

A wheelcom rising two partlyflat circular members each avifng an vinturned right-an 95 'gled peripheral flange to rm the tread portion of the wheel, said members being spaced apart and located other and having near ries of openings, von its central portion an inwardly-extending cupintegral therewith, and rivet-braces eac having its outer and 'side'edges' straight to rest against the inner surfaces of the circular members and their peripheral flanges, brace-rivets also havin'g reduced portions secured in the said openings in said members, substantially as describe I HENRY A.'KOHLER.

reduced portions or eh brace-rivets '13 'are upset or riveted in the he principal object of the invention is tol provide a strong and durable wheel or roller which shall be simplev and inexpensive in construction and so forthe axle orqournal will be integral with the members comprising the bodyof thewheel. I

In order'to en ble others skilled in the art invention pertains to make and I will now proceed to describe it, referring to the accompanyingdrawings, in which-- Figure 1'is b yreference to the aface view of a wheel embody-' tional view thereof, taken on line 2, 2 of Fig; 3 looking in "the direction indicated. by the aris a transverse sectional View and antifriction-balls mounted on one of the bearings.- therefor. v Likeinumerals of reference refer to corre- Y s their peripheries a se- 'The body or main portion of the wheel; comprises two circular members 5', which arestruck up so as to form at their peripheries. inturned flanges 6 and at their central pore tions with bearings 7 and inwardly-exten for the reception and operation of the axle or journal 9 and antifriction-balls 10, "respectively.
